- How to Cut Leather with Cricut Maker
Hi everyone! For those of you who wanted to know how I cut leather with my Cricut machine I filmed a couple projects using real leather and the Cricut Maker.
I like to cut fabrics and leather with the rotary blade but you can cut leather with the knife blade and deep cut blade as well ... this video shows how I use the scoring wheel to cut my pieces.
I made a double layer pair of leather earrings as well as my first leather wallet. The earrings will be great for beginners!
The materials I used (or similar) are linked below!
Real leather remnants (from Hobby Lobby) or here on amazon:

You can also use Cricut Faux Leather: shrsl.com/2srbr
I used Cricut Maker for these projects, along with the Scoring Wheel.

I just saw a couple of videos where they used transfer tape on fuzzy side and place that side on mat. Then they duplicated each cut piece stacking right on top. So cutter made 2-4 passes especially on thicker leather. It made the cuts much cleaner and sharper. ☺️ But I really love your vids. Thank you for the help.
Hi @ladilynne, any idea which transfer tape they used? 🙏
Loved the video .So pleased to see you back x
Thank you Andrea!!!😊
Great tutorial! Thanks for putting it together. It had inspired me to try something new with my Cricut!
I'm so glad!!
Wow I learnt alot from this!! Was surprised to see so little views. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so glad you enjoyed the video!!
Very very nice. Thanks for tutorial 💗
Excellent, thanks
Thanks so much for the tips! I cut faux leather at the moment with my Cricut and learned to used the Canvas setting. It works like a charm.
Christy that you I love the wallet I need to make this.
So glad you liked this..I definitely need to make some more leather projects!
I also use the rolling cutter by Fiskars, it works perfect to cut clean edges on leather.....seriously a MUST HAVE!!!!!
Thanks I am intimidated by roller cutters lol ... go figure!!
@@AppalachianHomeCo I understand....if I have too much coffee, forget it!!🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️😉 However, a great hack for that is to use a wooden or straight edge ruler to guide one side! 🤍🙏🏼
Nice job Christy. I really like that wallet. Did you use any closure on it? I have some magnet closets but I’ve never used them.
Thank you!! I didn’t use any closure, for this pattern the wallet stayed closed well. I really want to make a ladies wallet with hand stitching and maybe a rivet button clasp but I haven’t used the magnets before either.🤔
Pretty nice job. It helped a lot. It would be perfekt if you show us how to put a pattern to ds step by step❤️❤️ thx a lot
Thank you! Ok I will get a tutorial up for you!
Use the Purple super strong mat and bray your leather to the mat really well. It makes the mat a mess at the end but big deal, the leather does not move on the mat!!!!!! Works great for me. The braying is the most important part so it doesn't shift around during cutting!! Happy Crafting
Thanks so much will do this!
Hi, I just found your channel and it has been so helpful. Did you make a video of sewing the wallet? I am trying to make a wallet, but I am having a hard time with my sewing machine settings when I get to three layers of leather. I was curious what settings you used. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you I'm so glad you enjoy my channel! I believe I used the 90/14 needle but my leather was really soft and pliable so you might need larger for tougher materials. I used a regular stitch but increased the length to about a 4. And sewed pretty slowly. Hope that helps!
Did you cut the wallet with the blade , it can cut around sharp curves
Which Cricut model do you have or does it matter for cutting leather? Sorry I’m new to this?
Thank you for this video! My friend asked if I could make this mask that is the Brown Eagle from LOTR I think. I found a pattern on Etsy but it includes tiny holes around the eyes to weave a visible string. I had my Cricut for over a year but have not tried the knife blade I bought yet nor leather. If you see this, do you think the little holes are possible or would they be problematic (for instance pulling the leather perhaps)? Thanks for any tips if you have any!
Hi! It depends on how tiny the holes are, ...I bought a punch for doing tiny holes on leather so I usually don't try to cut them out with cricut. I think I got the punch from amazon.
Thanks so much for this, LOVE your tutorials 💗
You're welcome ! I'm so glad you enjoy these thank you!
Can the rotary blade be used on the Explore Air 2 machine to cut leather?
What needle did you use for your sewing machine
Do you have an idea of how thick, Or what ounce leather the cricket maker will cut up to?
Hi I believe around 3-4oz. The leather you can purchase from Cricut is 3oz.
Would you cut cork vinyl or canvas the same way?
Hi! You can cut thru cork, I have not tried canvas yet tho.
I'm trying to cut genuine leather with the knife blade and my maker 3 will not detect the blade. I went through the Cricut troubleshooting and it's still not detecting it. Anyone have a solution?
Are you mirroring the images?
Hi where did you get the template from please?
Hi I actually drew some of them on inkscape...I think etsy might have some for sale. I hope to have a link to my designs up soon for everyone.
How many oz is the leather
Hi! I want to say this was around 4-6 Oz leather.
Thanks for the video, but the music is way to loud compare to your voice a little reduce of volume would be better for listening
how do I get 2 off these
Hey gal you mean the earrings? Or the leather..?
@@AppalachianHomeCo the wallets
I'm new and you went way to fast. I'm trying to do a wallet by makers supply.
Best of luck with the wallet!
The earrings would be cut much faster with scissors🤔😉
Yes but if you want to produce a little more mass it gets tricky
thanks for sharing this ... and please clean your mat, it does look really dirty, no offense
lol. this will NOT work for leather unless used only on very soft leather. Pls show it in use with bridle or vegan 3mm thick.
Those examples look butchered lol
